Meal prepping (slrpnk.net)

I hate meal prepping but it's the reason I've lost 20 lbs since January. I don't prep burgers like this godless heathen, though

Kinds depends on the bun and fillings but I think a burger is definitely a food you can just squash together.

Arguably in general it can make a sandwich better. Yes burgers are not sandwiches but I just remember some QI anecdote of some person always wrapping their sandwich in cling film then sat on it before eating it.

The big issue is the salad IMO. I don't want to eat salad that has been stored like that for even half a day.

Very true. Thought about before posting.

But if you have like a really unhealthy burger without salad. Tomatos might be fine, but I don't want them wetting the buns too much.

It's a difference in terms. You could order a chicken sandwich in the US and get something that no European would call a sandwich, but a burger.

In the US, a "burger" typically refers to a ground meat patty (beef, chicken, etc.) served on a bun, while a "sandwich" is more broadly defined as any filling between two slices of bread. In the UK, a burger is generally considered a specific type of sandwich, specifically one with a patty in a bun. While Americans may use the terms somewhat interchangeably, Brits typically distinguish between a burger and a sandwich, with a burger being a subset of the sandwich category

You can sit on it, or you can press it with something flat and heavy. Lan Lam includes squashing for an hour as a required step in her Simple rules for better sandwiches (Youtube), but she uses a cutting board and a pot. Pressing helps keep a big sandwich together and it also mixes the flavors a little.

Jamming it in a jar doesn't really work for keeping it together (that burger looks like it needs to be eaten with a spoon), but it could still help disperse the flavors.
